## Docs

What every feature does and how to use it: https://kubana.cloud/docs

### Getting started

Kubana Cloud puts servers, apps, websites, email and domains in one dashboard, paid from a single prepaid credit balance. You can also run them from your AI assistant with MCP servers. Start here to learn how the pieces fit and get your first service online. (https://kubana.cloud/docs/getting-started)

- [What is Kubana Cloud?](https://kubana.cloud/docs/getting-started/what-is-kubana): The products, how billing works and how everything is organised, in five minutes.

### Account & security

Your Kubana account holds every project and resource you create. Keep it secure with email sign-in codes and share access to individual servers and domains with teammates. (https://kubana.cloud/docs/account)

### Billing & credits

Kubana is prepaid: you top up credit in USD, BIF or RWF and usage is deducted from your balance. No invoices to chase and no surprise bills. (https://kubana.cloud/docs/billing)

- [How prepaid credits work](https://kubana.cloud/docs/billing/how-credits-work): One balance pays for everything: what is billed hourly, what is billed yearly, and where to see it.

- [Create a project](https://kubana.cloud/docs/projects/create-a-project): Group resources by environment or client, and follow what changes in each group.

### AI assistants (MCP)

MCP lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor use tools in other services. Connect Kubana’s MCP servers and you can debug deploys, check DNS or create mailboxes by asking in plain language. Risky actions wait for a code Kubana emails you, and you control which assistants are connected from the dashboard. (https://kubana.cloud/docs/ai-assistants)
